Perfect for the job

I ordered these for detailing my new car and, as always, read a lot of reviews here and on other microfiber detailing cloths. The reviews often mention washing instructions but these came without any type of “how to” material. No insert in the cellophane bag and nothing printed on the bag itself. I was also a bit surprised and annoyed that a sewn-in tag was on these as I’m now carefully cutting them off while trying not to leave a tag edge attached yet not cutting into the stitching that holds the polyester “silk” edge to the microfiber.As there are no care instructions at all, I went by people’s reviews (who apparently did get some kind of care instructions.)I used a liquid detergent and washed these on a gentle cycle in hot water then dried them on low heat. Yes, I found some instructions online from CB but so many contradictory directions that I fell back to using some form of common sense. These went into the washer without anything but the 12 yellow towels I received. I used a detergent meant only for dark clothes that’s milder than my Tide Pods and no dryer sheets.I have not used them on my car yet. I can’t evaluate these for their intended purpose as I’m removing tags instead of washing my 2 week old car.The reason I bought these instead of any others out there is due to the overwhelmingly positive reviews here and I’ve purchased a lot of Chemical Brothers products and have been completely satisfied.As for those comparing these to Kirkland Brand, there is no comparison at all. These are far more fluffy and plush on the fluffy side and the edges (except for the tag) are way nicer.As for paying an absurd amount for the washing solution to clean these, no. I’m just not willing to believe that whatever is in the CG detergent is superior to what I used today to wash them in. If the company wants to send a sample (haaaa-ha) I’ll compare my method and change this review.I will update the review after washing my car.

Great quality.

Both sides seem usable. One side is extremely soft.

First of all I have 30 different sets of towels from the 3 main brands and 22 different sets from the Rag Company alone so I pay for quality on both towels and products. These towel in both the blue and the yellow are easily in my top towels. After you wash them first out of package with proper wash then they really get soft . Also remove the tags right away which comes off easily They hold up very well with multiple washes and could last average DIY detailer multiple years . I use these for exterior of cars with glosses and shines. Never scratches paint and color maintains better than expected . Granted I keep 50 of each color I use the most so I have my cycle I go through so not washing same ones daily. I also personally only use each set of towels with same task so never cross contaminating towels with different chemicals. Again I would highly recommend these towels for you . I do wish they had in more colors as I have these in Blue, yellow and the Black Redline ones . Chemical Guys has some amazing products in general as I would have a few of their products in top choices with some other big names . I would suggest trying different products and see what works best for you and not to rely on YouTube videos where many will knock certain products because they aren’t getting them for free .
